Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn confirmed today at the Tokyo Motor Show that the automaker is planning at least three production electric vehicles for the next few years, and that a fourth is even possible, according to AutoblogGreen.

So far, the only one Nissan announced is the Leaf EV (pictured), which we first saw in August. Next, Nissan is planning an electric light commercial van based on the NV200. After that, the automaker will build a four-door EV for its Infiniti premium division, the report said--something that would one-up the Lexus HS250, Toyota's dedicated premium hybrid-only model. The fourth model could end up being a production version of the wacky, narrow Land Glider concept, also unveiled this morning.

In a separate release, Nissan announced that it is now the first automaker to help recycle electric car batteries, thanks to a new joint venture with Sumitomo Corporation. The goal is to lower the price of EVs by taking into account the resale value of the batteries.
